Despacito was released in 2017 by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee, blending reggaeton and Latin pop with Spanish lyrics. A remix featuring Justin Bieber helped push the song to audiences who did not normally listen to Spanish music. It spent weeks at number one in many countries, broke streaming records, and became one of the most watched videos online. The short hook remains popular on soundboards because a few seconds are enough to identify the song instantly and signal romance, summer and dancing without needing the full track.
